The diameter of the fish tank is about 30 centimeters, and a lobster lies in the tank. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lobsters are not unusual, this year alone in Ganbao Marine Ranch, tens of thousands of broken ditch lobsters have been caught, and Han Xuan has seen a lot.

However, the whole shell of this lobster is blue, and even the whiskers and tentacles are a little strange, Han Xuan asked, "Florida lobster?"

By florida-crayfish, he refers to a small freshwater lobster native to Florida in the United States with a bright blue shell.

Usually used as an ornamental shrimp, it is generally sold in flower and bird markets, and is called blue devil shrimp.

In China, there is also a kind of dyed little blue devil, and the mother shrimp it uses is the scientific name "Keyuan's crayfish", that is, the kind of shrimp used in "spicy crayfish".

People select the newly hatched crayfish young, mix them with food coloring, raise them in blue liquid, and feed them with mixed pigment feed, so that the original astaxanthin of the shrimp body changes.

This is the same as the fact that animals such as glass shrimp and green sea turtles eat aquatic plants for a long time, causing their bodies to turn green, and they are not born blue.

And at this moment, this one in front of Han Xuan is different.

The restaurant manager grinned and said with a smile, "It's not a Florida freshwater lobster, little boss."

It is a rare genetic variant of American lobsters, with an average of one blue lobster per two million lobsters.

According to a UCLA biology professor who often eats here, this is because the lobster has an excess of a certain protein in its body, forming a blue complex called "crustacetin", which gives the lobster's shell a blue color.

After being boiled in a pot, it will still turn red like a regular lobster. ”

Han Xuan suddenly had the illusion that the Qing Dynasty officials and lords were being given playthings to please him.

The American lobster, which grows in the Atlantic Ocean on the east coast and is now in captivity along the coast of California, is not surprising to be in Los Angeles.

Hearing from the restaurant manager that it turns red after cooking, he wonders if any of the people whose heads are caught in the door will cook this rare variant of blue lobster.

This lobster has two large anterior crows, slightly different in size, the larger one is almost as long as its body.

Considering that the American lobster can grow to a maximum size of more than one meter, the lobster in front of him is less than twenty centimeters, and it is only a shrimp grandson.

"Thank you, I love it."

I will keep it or send it back to the sea to be released. ”

"Alright, I'll help you get the menu.

I'll move this lobster back to the kitchen first, and then I'll take it with you when you're gone?"

"Don't bother, just leave it here......"

Flip through the delicate menu with a cowhide cover.

Han Xuan suddenly wanted to eat some home-cooked food today, ordered a braised pork and West Lake vinegar fish, and saw that the menu also added a chicken called Huahua, and wanted to try it, so he also ordered one.

Anthony is not a picky eater, just a companion, listening to the boss say names that he has never heard of, and asked: "The food here is very large, is it too much?"

"It doesn't matter, I want to taste everything I see and take, and I can't finish eating it and take it away.

Dawson, you come and sit together, two people can't eat it. ”

At the next table, Dawson heard Han Xuan calling him.

Not very polite, nodded and walked over, after getting along for so long, he knew that the little boss really didn't care about these respectful etiquette......

========

When the chicken was delivered in a tray, the outer layer of mud had not been removed.

Han Xuan asked the waiter for a small copper hammer and gently cracked it, and the fragrance suddenly spread out.

The sound of dry mud clacking fell on the tray, revealing the underlying lotus leaves.

It is different from the original version called Flower Chicken, which directly smears mud on the surface of the feathers.

After the chicken in front of me is processed, it is wrapped in several layers of lotus leaves, and then wrapped in a layer of black mud.

Be more hygienic and hygienic.

The people at the next table smelled the smell, stretched their necks to watch Han Xuan's movements, called the waiter over, and asked him what he was eating.

After learning about the method of calling flower chicken, I kept saying that it was interesting, although some people were already full, and they also wanted to take a copy away.

People who dare to come to meet restaurants to eat are not short of money, and they are usually tired of eating lobster steak, and these Chinese foods have a unique flavor in their eyes.

Han Xuan peeled off the lotus leaf with chopsticks, and the golden buttery roast chicken was exposed to the air, and the fragrance became more intense, with the unique alluring smell of lotus leaves.

Seeing that the chicken's belly was bulging, he asked the Chinese chef standing at the table, "What are those inside?"

"Cooked rice, and some diced lean meat.

We have a dish called winged bread rice on our treasure island, and I feel that it is not interesting to eat chicken alone, so I will add that method to the chicken called flower chicken, can you taste it?"

"Okay. Han Xuan picked up the spoon, scooped some rice from the belly of the chicken and put it into the bowl, after eating, his eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's very fragrant!"

The chef said with a smile: "I added special chicken juice and seasonings, and I experimented hundreds of times before I was satisfied, and Americans also like it, but simple rice does not taste like this." ”

Anthony and Dawson have been drooling for a long time, and although there are differences in eating habits between Eastern and Western people, the perception of fragrance is the same.

The tempting smell makes their saliva secrete uncontrollably, and compared with Western food that pays attention to exquisite appearance and original ingredients, Chinese food is countless times more fragrant.

At the table next to her, there was a girl who was only four or five years old, attracted by the smell of food she had never smelled, and turned her head with a spoon, saliva flowing down the corners of her mouth.

Her mother helped clean it up and fed her some beef soup, and the girl closed her mouth and turned her head vigorously, pointing at the flower chicken: "I want that!"

Han Xuan was happy when she saw it, picked up a clean small bowl, dug up some rice, and motioned for the waiter to give it to her.

The girl was also sweet-mouthed, and said thank you several times.

Her father was embarrassed, smiled awkwardly, and signaled to Han that he was sorry for disturbing their dinner.

Han Xuan smiled and shook his head, saying that it didn't matter.

Tear some tender meat and throw it into the fish tank to feed the lobster, the blue lobster trots a few steps and bites, and somehow eats it, and the meat is gone.

When he heard the familiar tune of "Liang Zhu", Han Xuan couldn't help but look back.

The restaurant manager came up with some new tricks, and other Western restaurants played the piano and violin...... Erhu!

The vicissitudes of the erhu's voice are born with a sense of pathos.

Music can express emotions, this young man who plays the erhu has very good skills, even if he doesn't know the love story, there are many people who put down their chopsticks and applaud.

Liang Zhu's piece is not only famous in China, but also the most famous piece in China, and it entered the world stage with the revolution of the violin concerto decades ago.

Nowadays, there is no one who is engaged in Western traditional music who does not know "the-butterfly-lovers-violin-concerto", and now listening to the erhu version has a unique style.

Han Xuan snorted quietly, he didn't know how serious his out-of-tune was, Dawson's eyes were speechless, and he wanted him to shut up, but after all, he was his big boss, what dare he blame......

For the rest of the people in the restaurant, keep the conversation down and try not to let the dishes and spoons touch to make noise.

A song of Liang Zhu lasted less than ten minutes, and the voice was tactful and tortuous.

When the man put down the erhu, the warm applause rang out for almost two minutes before stopping, and the young man who played the erhu had a little flattered expression on his face.

As with movie premieres, the length of applause indicates how much people like it.

They don't applaud out of politeness now, they really like it!

After the thunderous applause stopped, he kept bowing and thanking him, and in the face of the sound of others shouting for him to do another song, he didn't say a word, and took the erhu off the stage.

Han Xuan beckoned to the restaurant manager with interest and motioned for him to call the person who had just played over.

A few minutes later, the young man who pulled the erhu came up, with a questioning look in his eyes, pointing to his neck and shaking his hand, indicating that he could not speak and was a mute...... (To be continued.) )
